Mal Waldron – Candy Girl LP RE RM French Import 230 Ltd Ed 2016 OOP Funky Jazz

Description: Mal Waldron – Candy Girl LP RE RM French Import 230 Ltd Ed 2016 OOP Funky Jazz RareThis recording is Mythical impossible to find over the years, this copy came from FranceMal's Funky keyboards is amazing worth every penny I paid. Official 2016 black and white release of ultra rare Promo only LP originally pressed in 1975. Approx 230 copies pressed. Remastered from the original master tapes. Libreville Records is proud to announce the limited reissue of one of the most elusive yet mythical LP ever conceived in France.Recorded and produced by maverick Producer Pierre Jaubert, the album was never commercially released and was pressed in a quantity rumoured to be no more than 20 copies.All tracks, composed by unsung hero Mal Waldron are backed by the key members of the famous Lafayette Afro Rock Band who gained cult status notably by being heavily sampled by the great names of the rap game: from De La Soul to Wu-Tang Clan, through Nas and of course Jay-Z among many, many others... The album consists of five pieces going from deep jazz funk to modal soul jazz even to uplifting jazz ballad, all sharing the profoundness of Mal Waldron's sensibility. Candy Girl stands surely as one of the true Holy Grail of Jazz Funk coming out of Europe. Crafted in true 70s private press spirit, the record comes in a beautiful tip-on cover with pasted DIY paper on front and back. One of the most obscure Mal Waldron records of the 70s -- a funky electric outing that features long tracks all produced by Pierre Jaubert -- who was better known as the studio genius behind the Lafayette Afro Rock Band at the time! The style here is maybe a stripped-down take on the modes of that group -- long, jamming, funky tunes all penned and arranged by Waldron, in a way that's very different than any of his other work of the decade (or any other decade for that matter) -- performed by a small combo that features Lafayette Hudson on bass, Donny Donable on drums, and Frank Abel on some mighty nice Fender Rhodes -- an instrument that dominates the whole thing, and really makes the album a treasure. Titles include "Bits & Things", "Home Again", "Red Match Box", "Dedication To Brahms", and "Candy Girl". Pierre JaubertDuring the 1970s, he produced the album Candy Girl for Mal Waldron. The album never saw a proper release and only about 50 copies were pressed. Decades later in 2016, a copy of the LP would sell for US $1215. It was re-released as a limited edition of 230 on Libreville Records in 2016.
